Reviews

Praise for Fred Vargas: " A Vargas novel is as good as a trip to Paris. The style has the same hyper-real quality as all her writing- the real world, but filtered through a strange prism- but it' s the plotting that really hits the spot: ingenious and eccentric." -- "Daily Express" (UK) "From the Hardcover edition."
